Here’s the next chapter of Jennifer & James’ destination wedding at the Zoetry Casa Del Mar Los Cabo Resort. I was going to follow Jared Rey’s lead on this one and mix these images up with First-Look images. But I decided to dedicate this post entirely to Jennifer and James preparing themselves for their wedding day. If you missed Jennifer’s bridal session … check it out here. And … if you haven’t seen Jared Rey’s images yet check them out here. Look for First-Look images to hit the blog sometime tomorrow.

::WARNING:: Long Post Ahead! Just sayin’ …
We’re ringin’ in 2010 with a bang! Here’s the first of hopefully many more weddings this year. It also marked my wife Jennifer’s retirement as a professional bridesmaid … she’s a little sad. The outside temperature in Dallas was lower than it had been in over a decade … but overall it turned out to be a beautiful day for an awesome wedding. Thank you Catherine and Nick for choosing me as your photographer … it was a blast. And a special thanks to my brother David for standing in as “flash girl.”

Don’t mess with this guy … he is highly trained in the field of WBSI. (Wedding Band Security & Intelligence)








I don’t know … I’m starting to think I didn’t take enough ring shots. :-p






























I’ve never seen kids so focused on a toast. Couldn’t have planned this out even if I paid them in candy bars.


I don’t know what is going on in this shot … but it cracks me up every time I look at it.













This guy was awesome … so intense!

I had the opportunity to be part of Wendy & Mark’s small and intimate wedding this past weekend at their home near the Firewheel Golf Course in Garland. It was such a pleasure to work with these guys … everyone was very welcoming and seemed very comfortable in front of the camera. Although this was their wedding … I was asked to focus more on portraits of family members, rather than the ceremony itself. We had a very small window of time to capture everything … so Jennifer made sure to keep me on my toes. This was my second week in a row to perform a shoot at a private home. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see what spots become interesting when you’re presented a limited environment. There were lot’s of neat spots in and around their home … but due to the cloudy skies … we had to stick to what we could find quickly outside. We squeezed in as many portraits as possible before the ceremony and captured the remaining few afterwards. There wasn’t much time for capturing details before everyone had to leave for the celebration dinner … but I did manage to nab a few ring shots in and around their kitchen. Thanks again to Wendy & Mark for asking me to document their day … we had a blast!

I shot Megan & Ryan’s e-session earlier this year in and around downtown Fort Worth and I can’t believe their wedding has already come and gone. Their awesome wedding and reception took place in a new and very cool venue called Off the Grid. It also happens to be a historic Dallas Power and Light substation building that used to power the street lights of Dallas.Off the Grid. It has tons of character and makes for excellent photos. Here’s a few of my favorites from the evening.

I had such a hard time choosing photos to blog from Rachel and Brennan’s awesome wedding! This is a long post … but yet … it’s such a small taste of what I actually captured that day. And … this doesn’t even include the days prior or the following day … or my personal photos. I took A LOT of photos that week! The wedding ceremony was held at the The Lutheran Church of Arcata. The fun then moved to the reception spot at Merryman’s Beach House on Moonstone Beach in Trinidad.

Jennifer and I had more fun that I could ever begin to write about while we were in California last week. I’m extremely jealous of the photographers that live in California … they have incredible photo session locations hiding behind every corner. This was my first destination wedding and I couldn’t have asked for a better couple … and their families … to have experienced it with. This first post contains a few images from their rehearsal dinner at Trinidad Town Hall in Trinidad, CA. I also convinced them to take a few portraits after dinner. The evening ended with a few of the guys playing a little tennis in their dressy clothes … can’t say I’ve ever seen that before.
Wedding pics coming soon …

I had the pleasure of helping a friend capture Celene & Henry’s wedding day this past weekend. The ceremony was held at St. Michael’s Catholic Church and the reception took place at Myers Parks and Events Center … both in McKinney, Texas.

I promised Dave (the groom) … a few months ago … that I would post this awesome display of coordination. Their wedding was held at Chappelle des Fleurs in Flower Mound, Texas and some of their photos can be viewed on the JA2 Web site.
